Tate Chamberlin here to kick off this episode of I Am Interchange, focused on the issue of population control, with Jacob Schreiner, a senior pastor with New Life Four Square Ministries. After a tumultuous childhood and a party-filled adolescence he had what he calls an encounter with Jesus and opted to forego material privilege and studying law to forge a closer relationship with the Christian church and Christian principles.

Jacob’s take on some key topics are outside the mainstream, for sure. He believes the Earth is approximately 10,000 years old. He also believes the idea of population control is a laughable notion – flying in the face of God’s intentions. From his perspective, God gave humans dominion over the Earth, and we have been given infinite capacity to produce the resources that meet our needs and meet challenges as they arise.

From Jacob’s perspective, the proof of our authority is in scripture – and the only way the Earth will be destroyed will be due to an act of God.
